As I began working on the layers in this piece, it felt very much like a puzzle was being put together before my eyes…the image began as a photograph of my daughter with a large granite sculpture by Isamu Noguchi nearby. As I continued adding layers and bits and pieces, the form of the image began to merge into geometric and organic forms. The positive and negative spaces formed tensions in the piece that began telling her story of a young woman encountering struggles and successes, a universal story.
